Start building your tomorrow; Join us today!

The SAME College Outreach Committee strives to organize programs and present opportunities to future members of the military engineering community that will foster networking within the professional community, build leadership skills and provide job opportunities to recent graduates. Additionally, students with an active membership within SAME have at their disposal a wealth of knowledge and experiences from professionals throughout the military engineering enterprise that is simply not available by other means. Check us out on Facebook!

The College Outreach Committee assists SAME Posts in mentoring and building professional relationships between Post members and students majoring in engineering and related programs at local colleges and universities, and introducing students to job opportunities in military engineering.

A Note from the Committee Chair:

Current and Prospective Student Members,

SAME has a rich tradition within the military, private and public communities of providing professionals with networking opportunities and professional development. As a Student Member, you have the resources to develop the skills necessary for a successful career prior to graduation. Annual workshops provide opportunities for networking and sharing of Student Chapter successful programs and challenges.

I have 7 specific goals for the 2014-2015 academic year to continue the success of College Outreach across SAME. They are as follows:

Post Mentoring

Mentoring is one of SAME's most important goals, and toward that end Posts are encouraged to develop College Outreach plans to involve local college and university students and encourage their pursuit of careers in the A/E/C field. Remember, the students you mentor today will be the leaders of tomorrow!
Posts can work with students toward this goal by:

Sponsoring a Student Chapter at a local college or university that has a program for students in engineering, architecture or construction.

Support two Student Leaders from your Student Chapter by sending them to the annual SAME Student Leadership Workshop. Space permitting, Posts may send a third student leader from their Student Chapter by paying a $300 registration fee per student. Download the Student Workshop application form to register your Student Leader(s) to the attend the Winter 2014 SAME Student Leaders Workshop February 19-22 in Phoenix, AZ.

Seeking out faculty members that may be SAME members, and get them involved as Faculty Advisors.

Seeking out former graduates from the local colleges or universities who will be able to connect you with current faculty or students.

who will forward it on to SAME national headquarters.
